André Aciman has been hailed as "the most exciting new fiction writer of the twenty-first century" (
magazine), a "brilliant chronicler of the disconnect…between who we are and who we wish we might have been" (
), and a writer of "fiction at its most supremely interesting" (Colm Tóibín). Now, with his third and most ambitious novel, Aciman delivers an elegant and powerful tale of the wages of assimilation—a moving story of an immigrant’s remembered youth and the nearly forgotten costs and sacrifices of becoming an American.
